It is not necessary tohold the handgrippulse sensor continu-ously; however, youshould hold the hand-grip pulse sensor fre-quently for the program to operate properly. Eachtime you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keepyour hands on the metal contacts for at least30 seconds. When you are not holding the hand-grip pulse sensor, the letters PLS will appear inthe display instead of your heart rate.


During the program, the console will regularlycompare your heart rate to the target heart rate. Ifyour heart rate is too far below or above the targetheart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-matically increase or decrease to bring your heartrate closer to the target heart rate.

You will also be prompted to pedal at a steadypace so you can maintain your target heart rate.When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in thedisplay, increase your pace. When the wordsPEDAL SLOWER appear in the display, decreaseyour pace. When the words PEDALING INRANGE appear, maintain your current pace.

Important: Make sure to exercise at a pacethat is comfortable for you. Note: If you manu-ally override the resistance settings, you may notmaintain your target heart rate.










When you are finished exercising, the con-sole will turn off automatically.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciserregularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth anda small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoiddamage to the console, keep liquids away fromthe console and keep the console out of directsunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console display becomes dim, the batteriesshould be replaced; most console problems are theresult of low batteries. See assembly step 12 on page11 for replacement instructions.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console does not display your heart rate whenyou hold the handgrip pulse sensor, or if the displayedheart rate appears to be too high or too low, see step5 on page 15.

HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floorduring use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICALEXERCISER on page 12.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even whilethe resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the

drive belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust thedrive belt, first remove the screws from the left andright side shields (not shown). Gently pull the sideshields apart and remove the convenience tray.

Next, locate the Idler Screw (68) and loosen it onehalf turn. Step onto the elliptical exerciser and movethe pedals. If the pedals continue to slip, turn the IdlerScrew another half turn and test the pedals again.Continue in this way until the pedals no longer slip.Then, replace the convenience tray and reattach theside shields.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan yourexercise program. Remember that proper nutritionand adequate rest are essential for successful results.Each workout should include the following three parts:

Warming Up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 min-utes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, andcirculation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Each workout should con-sist of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heartrate in your training zone. Note: During the first fewweeks of your exercise program, do not keep yourheart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 min-utes.

Cooling Down—End each workout with 5 to 10 min-utes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility ofyour muscles and will help to prevent post-exerciseproblems.

To maintain or improve your condition, plan threeworkouts each week, with at least one day of restbetween workouts. Schedule your workouts for thetime of day when your energy level is the highest.After a few months of regular exercise, you may com-plete up to five workouts each week, if desired.Remember, the key to success is make exercise aregular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

CARDIOVASCULAR TRAINING GUIDELINES

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen yourcardiovascular system, the key to achieving the

desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.The proper intensity level can be found by using yourheart rate as a guide.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates forfat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular(aerobic) exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your ageat the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to thenearest ten years). Next, find the three numbersabove your age. The three numbers are your “trainingzone.” The lowest number is the recommended heartrate for fat burning, the middle number is the recom-mended heart rate for maximum fat burning, and thehighest number is the recommended heart rate foraerobic exercise.

Fat Burning—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-cise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustainedperiod of time. During the first few minutes of exer-cise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydratecalories for energy. Only after the first few minutes ofexercise does your body begin to use stored fat calo-ries for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust theintensity of your exercise until your heart rate is nearthe lowest number in your training zone as you exer-cise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity ofyour exercise until your heart rate is near the middlenumber in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen yourcardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aero-bic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires largeamounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. Thisincreases the demand on the heart to pump blood tothe muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate theblood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity ofyour exercise until your heart rate is near the highestnumber in your training zone.

WARNING:Before beginning this or any exercise pro-gram, consult your physician. This is espe-cially important for persons over the age of 35or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.Various factors may affect the accuracy ofheart rate readings. The pulse sensor isintended only as an exercise aid in determin-ing heart rate trends in general.

STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES

During strength exercises, you must maintain properform for the best results. Maintaining proper forminvolves moving through the full range of motion foreach exercise and moving only the appropriate partsof the body. Exercising in an uncontrolled manner willreduce the benefits of strength exercises. On theexercise chart accompanying this manual are pho-tographs showing the correct form for several strengthexercises.

Perform each repetition of each strength exercisesmoothly and without pausing. The exertion phase ofeach repetition should last only about half as long asthe return phase. Proper breathing is also important.Exhale during the exertion phase of each repetitionand inhale during the return phase—never hold yourbreath.

To increase the size and strength of your muscles,you must work your muscles at a level close to theirmaximum capacity. Your muscles will adapt and growas you progressively increase the amount of weightthat you use. You can tone your muscles by workingthem at a moderate percentage of their capacity. Theproper amount of weight to use for each strength exer-cise depends on you—you must gauge your limits andselect an appropriate amount of weight.

It is important to avoid overdoing it during the first fewmonths of your exercise program. Progress at yourown pace and be sensitive to your body’s signals. Ifyou experience pain or dizziness at any time whileexercising, stop immediately and cool down. Find outwhat is wrong before continuing. Remember that ade-quate rest and a proper diet are important factors inany exercise program.
